Happy 15th Birthday, Miko!
Today, as you turn 15, your mom and I want you to know just how deeply loved and admired you are. Youâve grown into such an extraordinary young man, and every day, weâre reminded of how lucky we are to call you our son.
Miko, your kindness and responsibility leave us in awe. The way you care for Marcusâyour patience, your protectiveness, and the pure love you show himâis nothing short of inspiring. Youâve taken on the role of not just a brother but a guardian and friend to him, and that selflessness speaks volumes about your character. Marcus is so fortunate to have you, and so are we. And letâs not forget how diligently youâve tackled your studies, balancing schoolwork with everything else. Your commitment to doing your best, even when life gets busy, makes us prouder than words can say.
We want you to know how much we love you, Rhyss, and Marcus. Each of you brings something irreplaceable to our family, but today, we celebrate "You". Your mom and I often talk about how youâve blossomedânot just in looks (though wow, that too!)âbut in maturity, empathy, and strength. Moving to Canada has been a big change, but seeing how youâve embraced this new chapter gives us confidence that no challenge is too great for you.
Life will always have hurdles, Miko. There will be days that test your patience, moments that feel overwhelming, and problems that seem impossible. But remember this: "you are resilient". Youâve already proven it time and again. And youâre never alone. Rhyss, Marcus, Mom, and Iâwe are a team. Together, weâll face whatever comes our way. Lean on us, just as we lean on you, and trust that with love and teamwork, thereâs nothing we canât overcome.
As you step into this new year, "Chase" your dreams boldly. Laugh often, ask for help when you need it, and never doubt how capable you are. Life is full of opportunities, and we canât wait to see where your grit and big heart take you.
Happy birthday, Miko. Today and always, weâre cheering you onâtodayâs 15-year-old and tomorrowâs hero. Keep shining, our amazing son.
We love you endlessly,
Mom & Dad đ đđ¸
